You'd be better off cutting the ogg file out of the mix here, you're going to lose quality even if you can find a way to go from the ogg to the mp3, because mp3 and ogg compress their files by pulling completely different parts out of the sound file. Personally, I use Grip with lame to rip and encode my music into mp3. Works awesome, and should be available on the mirrors via urpmi. Give it a try. :) Gmail's reset my reply-to option, and I can't fix it, make sure that you're replying to the list when you reply to this message!
